- This $749,998 Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) will support Florida State University's efforts to improve water quality in the Gulf of America. The key activities include: Collecting and analyzing physical, biological, and nutrient water quality data from at least 83 sample locations in the Saint Andrew and Saint Joseph Bay watershed. This will involve implementing a 3-year citizen science...
- This $749,328 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) supports Louisiana State University's efforts to improve the water quality of the Gulf of America. The key activities funded under this 3-year award include: Monitoring EPA priority and emerging pollutants in three rivers, two bayous, three lakes, and Vermilion Bay that drain into the Gulf of America. This involves sampling surface water and water-borne biota,...
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $2,499,998 Cooperative Agreement under the Geographic Programs - Gulf of Mexico Program (CFDA 66.475) to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) to support efforts improving the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The primary objectives are to provide clean water to environmental justice communities in South Texas using self-sustained green solutions, while protecting and restoring the Gulf of Mexico watershed by reducing nutrient...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $745,414 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) supports efforts by the University of South Alabama to improve the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The key activities include monitoring nutrient and sediment loads at 50 sites in major rivers and streams that flow into Mobile Bay, and using watershed modeling to quantify the spatial and temporal patterns of nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, and suspended sediment inputs. The project also involves engaging with local communities in the study region's five coastal counties to provide information on nutrient pollution issues, gather feedback, and share project results. The anticipated outcomes include the first comprehensive quantification of nutrient and sediment loads to Mobile Bay, as well as improved community awareness and increased workforce capacity through training. This award demonstrates the University of South Alabama's expertise in environmental sciences and its ability to contribute to critical research and monitoring efforts in the Gulf of Mexico region.
